Got new card. They were nice enough to send it next day so I can try to get bird running this weekend.
Fingers crossed

Got fuel done and leak tested. No idea on pressure. Never thought I'd have to special order gauge tried all local parts chain stores and 3 speed shops. Gonna try and dig out pressure test kit. Just to set and try start tomorrow. Some little things to button up vac line to map and connect o2 to ecu. Played with ecu may start fingers crossed.

Awesome dude! With all the threads about cars getting hit, I'm not sure I want mine to leave the garage now though.

Nice. I wanted to run a carbed style efi intake with an elbow forever.

How's it drive? How's the tune?

It's different that's for sure. Afrs are good. Was 108 in the garage and laptop kept ing out from heat. And 90 in the front seat and with it on the cushion and fan blocked it was doing the same over heating. So I've got no data logs to looks at. But seat of the pants its definitely not throttle responsive starts rough but 100 times better then the 4150 with no choke.

Never got to tunning. Touched something and car would start then die and kill ecu. It's weird car dies loses connectivity in tunerstudio and fuel pump stays grounded.
Dóing a wiggle test I pulled cap and wigled rotor and car ran fine. Happened again on road wiggled rotor and fine.
Can't log data need to get a battery for laptop.

Going to try and resurrect factory tach. Found a half speed tach out setting. If I cant get it to work Jim has as set up that will. Went out for a ride yesterday with no tach, it was weird kept looking at it. Changed to an efi style coil was running a canister style and had some weird stuff with ignition hope it makes a difference? May be fuel related..\

Edit going to try and have fun its a hobby.

Found some mis-wired injectors on mine, still won't run though, checking timing next. I have to take it slowly or I'll burn it to the ground in frustration.

I thought mine was gonna burn a few times :flame: Been out here for hours still no tach at any speed:punchballs: I can get aftermarket tach to work at half speed get nothing out of factory one. I have an evtm. I thought it was gonna be easy. NOOOOOOO not for Steve.
Need to pm Jim.
